The leave application was dismissed because it was filed out of time under Order 53 r.4(1) without any explanation or request for an extension; the Board's Decision was lawful, rational and met the enhanced Wednesbury standard with adequate reasons and uncontested country information supporting relocation within Pakistan; additionally the applicant's repeated defaults indicated lack of bona fide intention to pursue the application, so no extension of time was granted.
